Ok. But I have already done all that. The UI class that manages the worker (the "adapter" as you say) is the same custom control class that manages the tasks (represented by the "Task" class) and displays progress. It has a method "AddTask" that sets up the background worker like this:

C#
public void AddTask(Task task) 
{ 
	tasks.Add(task); // tasks is a List<Task> object
	counterText = counterTemplate.Replace("#2", tasks.Count.ToString());
	task.BackgroundWorker.WorkerReportsProgress = true;
	task.BackgroundWorker.ProgressChanged += OnTaskProgressChanged;
	task.BackgroundWorker.RunWorkerCompleted += OnTaskCompleted;
}

(The DoWork event handler is set up in the Task class constructor so it has already been assigned by the time the above method is called). Assuming by "completed" you are referring to the RunWorkerCompleted event, as you can see, I have a handler (shown below). That handler makes it so that the BackgroundWorker method for the task is set to null (by calling the task's "InvalidateWorker" method also shown below). This handler is NOT being called before the Task::End() code I posted above.

The OnTaskCompleted method (part of the custom control with the AddTask method above):
C#
void OnTaskCompleted(object sender, RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs e)
{
	tasks[currentIndex].InvalidateWorker(); // break point on this line
	NextTask();
}

The InvalidateWorker() method in the Task class (I suppose I could dispose the BackgroundWorker here if necessary):
C#
public void InvalidateWorker()
{
	BackgroundWorker = null;
}

I have a break on the line where the OnTaskCompleted method calls the InvalidateWorker method that is not reached before the End method I posted previously is called (from the OnTaskProgressChanged method if the UI detects that the progress bar has reached its last step). So I am having a hard time understanding why the background worker is "completing" without invoking the event handler for it. I am also assuming that because it is "busy" it hasn't officially completed the call.

The only explanation I can think of is that the "completed" message is queued in the message queue/loop behind the "progress" message that detected the work was technically completed and that the background worker is shut down before "completed" event is invoked. If so, that is just bad design on the part of Microsoft. I figured though that the "IsBusy" would indicate that this is the case (see my End() method in the previous post); but apparently that isn't the case either... which makes Microsoft's code even worse.
